New Balance V3 All-Black Low-Cut Umpire Base Shoes

Great base umpire shoe. The only ones I can wear due to very wide feet. I did have to go up a 1/2 size from my usual New Balance sneakers.

I have a wide foot but not too wide...the middle width is just great. Light show and very comfortable. Did a doubleheader on turf and it’s got plenty of support and really impressive for a light shoe. Great fit and better feel.

Sizing was a pain. (Reason for the low rating) Every pair of New Balance I’ve owned over the years have been 10 1/2 wide 2E. Always fit, never a problem. These, not even close. I read the reviews about sizing up and ordered a 11 wide 2E. Not even close. Foot was crunched. Sent them back and ordered 11 1/2 extra wide 4E. Perfect. They feel good, game time will tell. Size up or you’ll be returning them. Hope this helps.

Great shoes so far, well built, easy to clean (which is great!) and comfortable. As far as ordering, I would suggest ordering up a size and if you're on the border of having wide feet, go wide! I originally ordered these in the standard fit 11.5 (which is my normal shoe size, never have worn anything "Wide" or non-standard before) but when the 11.5 showed up, it was way too small (narrow) and a tad small in length. I picked up the 12 in the EE width, and it is perfect; allows for double-sock, super comfortable so allows for long days with multiple games if needed. Also, the return/exchange program with them was top-notch - SUPER easy to return and get refunded for the pair that didn't fit. Giving 5 stars for not only the shoes, but the exchange policy and quick turnaround.

Love these umpire base shoes so far (but for the fit). I find they run a whole size small. Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size larger than the NB turf shoes they replaced. Wasn't enough. My previous base shoes were 11.5 2E, so I ordered 12 2E. My toes were rubbing on the sides. Had to purchase a 12.5 2E directly from New Balance (ump-attire didn't have them in stock). So, my advice would be to order a whole size larger. I ordered a half size larger with the new NB plate shoes, and the fit was perfect. These I needed a whole size larger (12.5 2E instead of 11.5 2E). Hopefully, I can gift the 12.0 2E's to a new umpire next Spring!

Lightweight and comfortable. Great pair of shoes for baseball/softball and football.

Wears really well. Feels comfortable. Still breaking them in.

Very comfortable. Excellent umpire base shoes.

Super comfortable. Have warn behind plate as well when I forgot my plate shoes and they worked fine. The only thing I don't like on these is the cloth part which gets to be super hard to clean. Overall, great product though.

Very comfortable base umpire shoe. I have worn them for 12 games so far and they have held up flawlessly!

Very comfortable on the field.

A comfortable umpire base shoe and one of the few that have the wide option. I like the new insole they put into this version of the shoe. It's also getting harder to find a shoe that is all black and non-cloth.

These base umpire shoes are comfortable and easy on the feet. I worked in really wet conditions with little issue.

Shoe runs smaller than the indicated size.

I love these umpire base shoes. They are very very comfortable and I will definitely buy these again when I need another pair of base shoes.

These are the most comfortable field shoes. Full stop. True to size. Easy to clean. Comfortable even after a full day on your feet. Highly recommend.

Great Fit. Comfortable. Easy to clean. So glad I added these to by umpire gear.

I needed a second pair of base shoes for umpire school. These will be my primary base shoes this year. The fit and feel of them are great, and they are easier to clean than the V2.

I purchased the New Balance V3 all black low-cut base shoes. I had to wait a little while for my 4E size 11's to become available, but I was promptly notified by Ump-Attire.com when they were back in stock. No baseball in CT for a few months, so I've been wearing them a bit here & there to gauge how they feel (look good enough to wear to work!)...they're awesome! I especially like the reduced amount of mesh fabric on the newer model - looks great and should clean up easily when necessary. Ump-Attire.com, these NB shoes are highly recommended!
